An article about the personal experience of keeping hibiscus at home
conditions. Everything “за” и “против”.Гибискусы красивы до безумия! This
I made a conclusion by looking at just a few random ones.
photos on the Internet. I’m not talking about the so-called
�”Grandmother’s” hibiscus, that is, not about those plants that bloom
mostly monochromatic red flowers. I’m talking about varietal
plants that are displayed in specialized nurseries.
In this article, I’m not going to tell a story
origin of hibiscus, and I want to describe first hand those
problems that may be encountered by people who are already interested
this plant, but carefully studying all the materials for the care of
sunken flower.
Seeing hibiscus once – just want to try them “in action”.
Bought: Quite a modest neat bush, having a tree
trunk and large leaves. No problems, I will grow trees and
wait for flowering.
The first disappointment befell me when it is a tree
spontaneously began to reach up, not wanting to hang out at
parties. One day on my windowsill was sticking out of
a pot of tall “dry” with the main crown only at the top.
Even the windows oriented to the south did not save the situation, but
hibiscuses need a lot of light and sun so that they don’t
pulled out.
I knew that hibiscus require pruning just for the purpose
so they began to branch and bush. But paying for a varietal
a flower a decent amount of money (I remind you that it was not an ordinary
tea rose from grandma’s window sill), I was afraid to cut it. And this
despite the fact that I had the experience of trimming other plants. I
very afraid to destroy the expensive plant.
By the way, if you had the courage to cut the plants,
I had to do something with the cuttings. The plant is not cheap,
throwing cuttings is just an unforgivable sin. therefore
cut cuttings must either be quickly recast on some other
plant, either try to root, or donate to someone, or
sell those who know how to handle them. Make a choice as necessary
before, because the cutting is not eternal. Everything действия опять же требуют усилий
not an amateur from floriculture.
Fortunately, the absence of a shears in my hands did not stop the flower, and
he finally tied up the buds and bloomed! And without any exaggeration
I will say: varietal hibiscus is a work of art! Can
admire the corrugation of flower petals, size (often
flowers are about 25 cm in size!), color transitions and the
similar nuances to infinity.
But then another unpleasant discovery befell me: only in the morning
the opened gorgeous flower by the evening was already closed and fell off with
pedicels. As it turned out, most hibiscus has a very
a short flowering time, and only to bloom at the same time
at least two flowers, a miracle should happen. And if you are from morning to
stay at work in the evening, it may happen that flowering
will pass completely without your participation, that, you see,
offensively.
Everything мы наступаем на грабли вне зависимости от того, что сведущие
people are trying to convey to us this or that truth. Knowing about
growing hibiscus girlfriend warned me that their co
terrible force loves to eat spider mite. Who at least once with him
faced, knows how hard it is to withdraw. I, конечно же,
told everyone that this would not happen to me. Alas and oh! Canteen
for ticks among my hibiscus became available from morning to night.
Ticks feasted every single day, and I was tormenting a bunch of drugs and
spent a lot of my time trying to get rid of this
unclean.
The actions of most drugs (even the most modern and
effective today) was enough for a maximum of a month
a half to two. Then everything was repeated from the beginning. And it is worth noting that
most pest control products are not harmless to
inhabitants of the dwelling: animals, children, and even the florist themselves.
my desire to own a hibiscus was what I decided
admire them in the photos of more patient flower growers. So
somehow calmer.
Given my experience, I would like to identify all the pros and cons
содержания гибискусов в домашних conditions.
First about the good.
– Fabulous beautiful flowers! All households will be delighted.
familiar, the hand will get tired to hold the camera to capture the flowers
in all possible angles.
– Let the flowers sometimes hold for only a day, or even less
but the buds may open one by one. Likely every
in the morning you will admire the new opened flower.
– Hibiscus are taught many wisdom floriculture. If you
want to constantly contemplate around you all the beauty of flowering, then you
learn a lot of methods of pruning, vaccinations, harassment of the bloodthirsty
insects.
– You can make money on pruning, rooting and vaccinations.
Connoisseurs of hibiscus sea and there will always be anyone
exchange varietal plants or purchase something from your
collections. The advantage will still be and gaining mass
like-minded friends.
Now about the minuses.
– Plants are not small, require a lot of space for placement and
preferably on the sunny side. Otherwise, you can never
do not wait for flowering and admire only stretched half-naked
�”Sticks” with bunches of leaves on top.
– Price. Keep varietal hibiscus quite expensive
pleasure, and believe me, it delays. I want to be in
all collections, because they are so different! The price of the plant begins
from 700 rubles apiece and, most likely, it will be just
rooted cutting, not quite ready to bloom. Adults
copies will cost even more.
– Permanent care for plants, including the formation of
neat shrubs (pruning), which many wildly fear.
Attachment cuttings, too, will fall on your shoulders. For the wasted
means sorry to just throw the cropped in the trash.
– Well, the most unpleasant: pests! Be prepared for almost
constant attacks of spider mites on your plants. Stock up
chemicals, respirators and patience.
Now you are fairly well informed about possible problems.
hibiscus content at home, therefore, after analyzing
all the pros and cons, make the right and firm decision: is it worth
the beauty of so much effort.
But I will tell you a secret: it’s worth it! But subject to availability
you have patience and endless love for all that is beautiful! Good luck!
